What do we think about when we
exercise?
“Ow, ow, ow!”
“I wonder if I remembered to send
that email…”
“How will Perry Mason get his
client out of it this time?”
“Only 29 minutes and 50 seconds
to go…”
None of those are bad
thoughts. It is not that there is
some magic batch of thoughts that are supposed to fill our heads while we are
working out. I would simply like
to suggest a couple more kinds to add to the mix.
“What are my abs doing right now?”
“What happens if I do the
movement more slowly? More
quickly?”
“Are my shoulders level?”
“Am I staring at my feet?”
Checking in with our bodies to
see what and how they are doing every once in a while can help us maintain good
form. That good form will
eventually translate into less “Ow!”
and more “I did it!”
